Abstract
Conclusions
Paredrine and paredrinol have a definite pressor effect in man when administered orally or subcutaneously. The systolic pressure is much more influenced than the diastolic pressure. Paredrine consistently shows a much greater and more prolonged pressor action than paredrinol. There is a marked variation in response in different individuals to a given dose.
A comparison of the results of oral and subcutaneous administration in the same individual indicates in most instances a complete or practically complete absorption and utilization of these compounds when administered by mouth.
